A SURVEY of 1,000 women has found that the majority prefer reading a book or knitting to having SEX.
The poll of women aged between 18-50 found that 18 per cent of women would rather do a 'craft activity' like knitting, sewing, painting or card-making instead of romping with their partner.
Asked to pick from a range of 'options' if they were given a spare moment to relax, women chose reading a good book as their 'top option', trumping sex, crafting or having a bath.
The top four options chosen by women in the poll released today were:
1 - Read a book - 37 per cent
2 - Have a bath - 26 per cent
3 - Crafting (Knitting, sewing etc) - 18 per cent
4 - Have sex - 8 per cent
The poll, to mark the launch of the novel Paper Hearts and Summer Kisses by author Carole Matthews earlier this month, also found that 77 per cent of women often felt 'stressed and anxious'.
It also found that 36 per cent of the women polled said their stress levels had rocketed in the wake of the events of 2016, including Brexit, Trump's election and financial worries.
Mum-of-one Claire Harper, 39, of Hertford, Herts, said: "If I get an hour to myself I usually get into the bath with a good book.
"I enjoy knitting as well and would probably choose an hour with a ball of wool than with my partner, however bad that might sound!" She added: "To be honest, he'd probably go down the pub or watch YouTube if he had an hour to himself, so I'd have no-one to have sex with anyway!"

I guess they never interviewed Ohio farm girls when they did their survey.
Can they not combine tasks?
Do they also enjoy cats and boxed wine?
And we're grateful.
Hard to believe...
Is the book about sex, at least?
I read this to my wife, she is still laughing.
I suppose there’s nothing but a little mental and physical flexibility stopping them from doing all four at once.
A. A guy will spend two hours looking for a golf ball.
Right. Might be fun even.
The poll, to mark the launch of the novel Paper Hearts and Summer Kisses by author Carole Matthews earlier this month, also found that 77 per cent of women often felt ‘stressed and anxious’.

This was their polling sample.
So yeah. You ask a bunch of frigid high maintenance wymyn - and the results are predictable.
Just be very careful with the knitting needles.
2. This survey is invalid unless some backround investigation on the participants is done.
3. This story has no attributed author. What does that tell you?
I’m still laughing too.. They must not be doing it right.

Or my ex. I don’t believe she was knitting with all those other men but ..... little did I know.
Feminism has conditioned woman to hate men and believe that anything requiring male contribution is evil.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole poll was conducted entirely from California
Then why do they need 55 gallon drums of free condoms, and free abortions. Sometimes, in this day and age I think they do little else, and I would bet a lot of dinero that an average woman probably has 10 times as much sex as an average male.
